Parents need to know that Girls Trip is a raunchy comedy about four longtime friends (Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith, Regina Hall, and Tiffany Haddish) who go on an over-the-top trip together. It's surprisingly sweet and positive, but there's definitely plenty of eyebrow-raising content, including wall-to-wall language, nudity, and randy humor. Women are given powerful, well-rounded roles, with two exceptions: a woman who's sleeping with another character's husband is presented as a one-note "ho," and a white character cluelessly imitates African-American slang despite being told not to. There's some violence: A character hits a coworker with metal objects, punches people in the face, and threatens a man with castration and a broken bottle. There's also an all-out brawl in which faces are smashed repeatedly into bars. Expect tons of jokes about sex and body parts, including a scene in which oral sex is mimed at length. Two men are seen nude in nonsexual contexts, one from the front, and one from the rear. Characters drink nearly constantly and sometimes lose control as a result (literally, in one scene in which women pee on a crowd from above). Language includes "f--k," "bitch," "ass," "p---y," the "N" word, and more. Essence and Coca-Cola clearly put money into this production: their logos are everywhere.
